Report: Joe Biden considering Gov. Andrew Cuomo for attorney general
The Blaze ^ | 12.12.2020 | Chris Enloe

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, oversaw the infamous coronavirus nursing home scandal in the Empire State, resulting from an executive order he issued during the height of the pandemic. The directive resulted in thousands of nursing home patients dying because such facilities were prohibited from turning away COVID-positive people. Cuomo has not taken responsibility for the scandal, instead choosing to blame Republicans for an order that had his name on it.

Now Joe Biden, the media-declared president-elect, is reportedly considering Cuomo for a top government post in his administration.

According to the Associated Press, Cuomo is one of a handful of officials being considered for attorney general, one of the most senior Cabinet positions.

More from the AP:

It was also not immediately clear how seriously Cuomo was being considered or how any nomination of him would be greeted by either Republicans, given Cuomo's antagonistic relationship with President Donald Trump, or by civil rights activists who have encouraged Biden to build a diverse cabinet. ... Cuomo has been asked in recent weeks about his interest in the attorney general spot. Just this week, he said in a public radio interview in New York, "I have no intention to run for president or vice president, or go to the administration." But he said the attorney general job "is really critical, especially now." The New York Times later confirmed that Cuomo is on the shortlist.

Whoopie wants Jill as Surgeon General because “she’s a helluva good doctor”.

Cuomo is responsible for thousands of nursing home deaths when he knowingly put infected Covid patients in the homes with the elderly. This clown is dangerous and should be prosecuted.

Silly Foo. Only Reformist Republicans get prosecuted and persecuted for cleaning up corruption, not dirty Derp State Demonrat Stalinazis.

Cuomo’s going to need an appointment to something to maintain his attachment to the government teat. The way the people of New York feel about him - at least those remaining, he couldn’t get elected Animal Control Officer (of course he’s not really qualified for that job anyway).

Governance for and by the psychopomps who hate America.

This will provide a wonderfully target rick environment.

I saw a commie Chinese guy shiver in his boots as he said, “ “rock and road?”

You could make a Bob Dylan song out of that!

Cuomo would be perfect. He would have a temper tantrum every day.

A huge in-your-face to `Deplorables’. No other motive.

I have to agree. Or Eric Holder. This pick seems almost mild.

Cuomo is an unindicted mass murderer.

Want that for AG?

After reading this, I’m surprised my body did not go into an instant coma, the normal self-preservation response when something so devastatingly traumatic occurs.

One of the happiest days of my political life was when when I heard the call in the early morning hours of November 9th, 1994, that Cuomo’s father went down to defeat.
